According to the "Fenyang Fan Family Tree" preserved by Fan Shunlu in Jiafan Village, Yaolin Town, Tonglu County, "Fenyang Fan Family moved from Lanxi Village to Luojiafan, Panlingjiao, Fenshui, in the first year of Jingtai (1450). Ancestors: Rong Fan, the word jade, worshipped one. He is a descendant of Fan Li (Tao Zhu), a doctor of the State of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty. The second time Fan Ao moved to Bushan Village (a hundred years' fanjia), Fan Qing moved to Anle Village (a hundred years' fanjia), the eighth time he traveled to Maxue Tower, the fourteenth time he moved to Daqi, Fu Rong moved to Pan Village (Yaolin Town), the fifteenth time Fu Sheng moved to Pan Fan (Zhongshan Township) and Shangqiu moved to He Song (Yaolin Town). According to the Fan Family Tree of Chenshantou Village, Zhang Cun Township, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, the ancestors of the Fan family in their village moved to qingtian county from Fenshui in the Ming Dynasty and are descendants of Fan Zhongyan. The descendants of Fan Zhongyan in Qingtian moved to Jiande in modern times, and there were also descendants of Fan Zhongyan in Jiande.
Fenshui County was called Fenyang in ancient times. In Ming Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan's descendants were distributed in Jiafan Village of Yaolin Town, Waifan Village of Fenshui Town and Fan Jiawu of Fuyuan Village under the jurisdiction of Fenshui County. At present, according to the preserved genealogy of Fanyang, Guangzutang, Guangyu Hall and Shanqingtang in Tonglu are all descendants of Fan Zhongyan.
? According to a story handed down from generation to generation by the Fan family, Fan Zhongyan's descendants settled in Lanxi, and after dividing the water into five houses, Luo and his wife at their feet gave birth to six or seven daughters in a row, but never saw a man, which really worried them. So, Rong Fan came to the Fan Family in Lihu Village, Fenshui Town, got the consent of the Fan Family in Lihu Village, and married his male offspring to be his son. Because he adopted Fan Li's male offspring, Rong Fan's wife finally gave birth to a male. The adopted son of Lihu Village is Fan Ao, a descendant of Fan Li. For Rong Fan, this son is a "son outside the door". Later, a hundred years later, he moved to Fanjia, and the name of the hall was changed to Guangzutang. This Rong Fan's biological son is called Fan Qing. This son is the son of Mennei. Later, he moved to the Fan family outside his centenary, and the name of the hall was changed to Guangyu Hall. Therefore, the descendants of Fan Li and Fan Zhongyan merged into one family in Tonglu, but their hall names were still separate. In other words, Fan is divided into two categories: one is Guangzutang, a descendant of Guangzutang; The other is Guangyutang, a descendant of Fan Zhongyan. But both the descendants of Fan Li and Fan Zhongyan have merged into one of their own. Because the 100-year-old Fan family lived in a deep forest, the traffic was inconvenient in the past. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement in the Qing Dynasty, the Fan family escaped, so until today, the descendants of Guangyutang and Guangzutang are evenly matched. However, for Waifan Village in Fenshui Town, there used to be Guangyutang and Guangzutang, but after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, only the descendants of Guangyutang and Guangzutang were killed by "long hair" during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. We also see here that the Fan family is divided into two natural villages, namely, the Waifan family and the Li Fan family, and so is Jia Fan village in Lanxi. Perhaps this is the same characteristic of Fan Zhongyan's descendants' taking the village name!
? Now, there is a legendary story circulating in Jiafan Village, Yaolin Town! According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, Rong Fan was a master of geography and geomantic omen. After he settled in Luojiafan, the foot of Panling, the fifth regiment of the Navy, he found Jiafan's treasure house in Jiafan Village, so he arranged for his two sons to occupy Waifan and Lifan respectively. There is a huge stalagmite in Jiafan Village with a chessboard on the flat top. It is said that two "immortals" come here to play chess on time every night. According to the statement at that time, as long as. At that time, Rong Fan and Yao Tianguan of Tonglu (141473) were people of the same era. Since Yao Tianguan was from Tonglu, his father died when he was one year old. When Yao Tianguan was seven or eight years old, his mother remarried a Jiangxi native, and then he went to Jiangxi with her. Since Yao Tianguan is not his own son, he certainly received the cold shoulder from his late father, including the Jiangxi children who bullied him. Yao Tianguan studied hard and finally had a bright future, and finally became the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, so Yao Tianguan had no sense of belonging to Jiangxi. When Yao Tianguan's mother celebrated her eightieth birthday, Yao Tianguan took time to go back to Jiangxi to prepare for her birthday. After Yao Tianguan came home, he didn't play according to the routine. He went home in an old dress. Unexpectedly stopped at home by local officials, Yao Tianguan took out the couplets written by the emperor. When local officials saw that the official seal on it was actually the official seal of the current emperor, they knew that this person was Yao Tianguan, and local officials all came to worship Yao Tianguan. After celebrating his mother's 80th birthday, Yao Tianguan returned to the imperial court. The emperor wanted to ask the local officials about Yao Tianguan's attitude. As a result, Yao Tianguan shook his head without saying a word. As a result, the emperor thought that Jiangxi officials were dissatisfied with him and ordered the arrest of Jiangxi officials who had opinions on the court. Later, unjust cases were caused, and more than half of Jiangxi officials died unjustly. There is still a jingle circulating: "Yao Tianguan shook his head and Jiangxi killed more than half a dynasty." This is a huge blow to Jiangxi officialdom, so a large number of Jiangxi geography teachers come to Zhejiang to destroy Zhejiang's geomantic omen. One day, a geography teacher from Jiangxi came to Jia Fan, a hundred years old, and found a huge stalagmite on the top of the mountain. When he saw that there would be a couple of generals, which would pose a threat to the future officialdom in Jiangxi, he tried to destroy the geomantic omen in Jia Fan. The mountain near this stalagmite wants to plant some bookmakers, but nothing can be planted. The mountain is cracked today, and the weeds will grow green tomorrow. The Fan family told the Feng Shui master about it, and the Feng Shui master said, "Kill a dog, kill a chicken, and drag the dog and chicken along the foot of stalagmites, and you can grow a banker here." So the Fan family asked Mr. Feng Shui to kill a dog and a chicken and drag them all the way to the foot of stalagmites. That day, dark clouds were raining heavily. It wasn't long before a huge thunder split the stalagmite into two pieces, and the falling part was inserted in the back hill. At this time, the Fan family had a child of 13 years old, which was very powerful. He is driving a calf across the river. The river surged and he crossed the river with a calf on his back. Unexpectedly, he slipped and was washed away by the flood and disappeared without a trace. It is said that the Feng Shui of the Fan family was destroyed by Mr. Jiangxi Geography. This is of course a legend. It may have happened that stalagmites were knocked down by Lei Gong and children's cows were washed away by floods, but this incident was passed down as a fairy tale by later generations.
? Fan Jia worshiped martial arts in Qing Dynasty. In the eighth year of Xianfeng, Fan Qiyu of Fanjia in Waifan Village of Fenshui County became the last martial artist in Fenshui County in Qing Dynasty. According to the oral tradition of the Fan family, his two sons, Fan Shaocheng and Fan Shaoqiang, are both martial arts experts. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, Fenshui County organized a local group training led by Fan Qiyu, and the local government of Fenshui County moved to Jinqiaowu, Waifan Village. Their father and son soldiers protected the local government of Fenshui county for three years, and finally failed in the case of being outnumbered. Only six people survived in Fenshui County, five in Waifan Village and seven in Hecun Township. Up to now, the story of Fan's father and son fighting against Long Hair is still circulating in the local area. 1949 After liberation, a China missile expert came to Fanjia in Yaolin Town. She is Fan Xin, a descendant of Fan Zhongyan, and her family's nickname is Fan Aimei. After the reform and development, Fan Huasheng and Fan Huayong, two brothers in Waifan Village of Fenshui Town, opened up a new world in the fields of screw factory, steel structure and real estate in the wave of reform and opening up, with assets exceeding 100 million.
? According to the postscript of Fenshui County Records written by Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, "Fenshui Fan is an innocent family style." The rules of the Fan family are very strict. We must never take other people's things from childhood. My father Fan Chuangui is our role model. He was the captain of the production team in 18. He is not greedy and has never taken a penny from the collective. The superior organization wanted to give him an individual award, but he refused. He often ignores personal interests, strictly demands himself, is selfless, and keeps his word. Fan Zhongyan's descendants' family style is reflected in daily life and passed down by future generations. Since 2009, I have made suggestions for the people in my hometown to sell green bamboo shoots, and held six sessions of "Yihe Green Bamboo Shoots Banquet" at my own expense. Later, this activity was taken over by Fenshui Town Government. By the success of the 10th "Yihe Green Bamboo Shooting Banquet" this year, the green bamboo shoots in ordinary people's homes were sold out before going out. With my efforts, my hometown Jia Fan has successfully held activities to respect the elderly for three consecutive years. During the Chinese New Year, all villagers have a reunion dinner and people aged 60 give red envelopes. This activity spread to the whole Waifan village, and various natural villages in Waifan village successively carried out activities to respect the elderly. As Fan Zhongyan's descendants, we should inherit Fan Zhongyan's spiritual culture, publicize Fan Zhongyan's spirit, be a model for Fan Zhongyan's descendants, and contribute our strength to the society!
